Starring: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, John C. Reilly, Queen Latifah, Christine Baranski, Taye Diggs, Dominic West, Lucy Liu, Mya, Colm Feore

Genre: Musical, Crime, Historical

Plot: Everyone loves a legend, but in Chicago, there's only room for one. Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) burns in the spotlight as a nightclub sensation. When she shoots her philandering husband, she lands on Chicago's famed murderess row, retains Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), and is the center of the town's most notorious murder case, only increasing her celebrity.

Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger), seduced by the city's promise of style and adventure, dreams of singing and dancing her way to stardom. When Roxie's abusive lover tries to walk out on her, she too ends up in prison. Billy recognizes a made-for-tabloids story, and postpones Velma's court date to take on Roxie's case. Infamy is Roxie's ticket to stardom. Billy turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and in this town, where murder is a form of entertainment, she becomes a bona fide star - much to Velma's chagrin.

As Roxie fashions herself as America's sweetheart, Velma has more than a few surprises in store, and the two women stop at nothing to outdo each other in their obsessive pursuit of fame and celebrity. A new interpretation that takes the award-winning Broadway show into fresh and expansive cinematic realms, Chicago shifts adroitly from the reality of intrigue, rivalry and betrayal to spectacular fantasies of music and dance, offering tongue-in-cheek commentary on the cult of celebrity and the scandalous lengths to which people will go to attain it.

"Chicago" Movie Review *** out of ****:
Bob Fosse's popular musical has finally been adapted for the screen. Director Rob Marshall, who's only noted previous directing work was 1999's TV movie remake of "Annie," stepped behind the camera in an attempt to adapt one of the most lavish and successful stage productions ever assembled. "Chicago" was a well-made, nearly flawless film with equally exceptional performances. So, why wasn't this enough for me to consider "Chicago" a highly enjoyable film?...READ THE FULL REVIEW



Report:
Oscar talk is surrounding Chicago's director Rob Marshall and supporting actor John C. Reilly. We'll just have to wait and see about that. Early screening reports for the film are positive, but not a Moulin Rouge level of positive. Once again, we'll just have to wait and see.
